Someone had written on the internet and described self containment as being self reliant and self independent. As much as this is true, there is more to self containment than just a feeling of being self sufficient, of which you can never be since no matter how sovereign you think you are; you need other people to help you reach your destiny in life.

Most people do not realize the difference between contentment and self containment. Being contented is when you are comfortable and at ease with who you are and what you have, no matter the situation. Containment is holding back, it is self suppression or inhibition. I do not think I would want to live a life of no self expression. Sometimes it will do you good to let yourself go and live without so much self restraint. Life is a song and a song is supposed to make you have fun and enjoy.

Self containment makes a person want to be alone and do stuff on themselves, and avoid being with other people. It makes a person live a closed up life where they do not allow others into their world. The fact is, to make it to your destiny or to live a full life; you need other people as much as they need you. You need friends, colleagues, employers and most of all family. These are people who love you and believe in you.

Stagnation can feed on self containment. When you contain yourself from other people, it is hard for you to get challenged to improve on who you are as a person or at your work place because you will always tend to think that you are the best but you do not get to know how far others are. Containment can hinder your personal growth and affect your self esteem.

Achievement - Power And Ability Of A Positive Mind

“Attitude is everything!” This statement carries so much truth that if every one took time to think about it and make necessary adjustment in life, then our lives would change for the better. Many times in our quest for self improvement, we have concentrated on changing and improving many things but our attitude.

Attitude is a person’s frame of mind. It is the mindset that a person has that helps him to develop a world view. Attitude is expressed by how we respond to issues. One person once said, “Life is not what happens to you but how you respond to issues”. Two individuals may encounter a similar negative situation but how they will each respond will determine the outcome.

One of the main attitudes we need to embrace is cultivating a positive mindset or attitude. As you read through history you encounter ordinary individuals who did extra ordinary things. Moses in the Bible was known to stammer in his speech but he became the deliverer. Abraham Lincoln on the other hand educated himself; he had no formal education but became the most acclaimed president in the history of the United States.

Mother Teresa, a simple nun in Calcutta also became an icon through her acts of mercy and philanthropy. The list could go on and on. What characterized these people was a positive mindset, they all believed in possibilities and they responded decisively for the good of humanity.

Regardless of your present status and condition, you can accomplish anything with positive thinking. There is power that is released through positive thinking and once it is released, it will always work for you. Positive thinking acts to enhance your abilities and virtues. Nothing is impossible to him that believes.
